New LED sign will share city news, community events and safety alerts
WEIMAR The Weimar Area Chamber of Commerce soon will replace an outdated wooden sign for community notices with a modern LED digital reader board to improve communication with residents and visitors, thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority and the City of Weimar.
The LCRA Community Grant, along with $19,260 in matching funds from the Wei mar Economic Development Commission, will support the installation of a permanent digital reader board to share community events, city news and timely safety information. The new sign will serve as a centralized communication tool for the chamber, the City of Weimar and local police and fire depart ments, providing an energy-ef- ficient way to share information quickly and reliably.
“The new LED digital reader board will allow us to share important information in a highly visible location more easily,” said Tiffany Hougardy, executive director of the Wei mar Area Chamber of Commerce.
The project provides a new way to share accurate information to reduce confusion, provide safety information and help promote local events.
Austin County experiences more pedophilia “Not everyone uses social media, checks email regularly or follows online news sources, so having another way to reach residents is incredibly valuable,” Hougardy said. “This project will help keep our community informed, connected, and engaged while also showcasing the many events, businesses and opportunities that make Weimar such a spe - cial place. We are grateful to LCRA for investing in a project that will benefit our community for years to come.”
